Chapter 90: Ten Years of Leisure
The mountains are undulating and the breeze is gusting.
One medicine tree after another is full of greenery, filled with a faint natural fragrance.
With the passage of time, these herbs, which were only a few inches long in the medicine field, have grown into leafy medicinal trees.
In the shade of the trees, a slender figure was carefully cleaning the dead leaves on the ground.
He wore the signature green cloth robe of the miscellaneous disciples, but in his gestures, he exuded a transcendent and unique temperament, and with the gentle wave of the broom, the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, as if following some kind of Taoist rules, all dissipated into nothingness.
In an instant, the ground, which was still a little messy and dirty, became new and neat.
At this moment, there was a sudden shock of the medicine trees on both sides, and the leaves, as if manipulated by some force, were like arrows bursting out, enveloping the slender figure.
Zhao Ping'an felt it, and the broom in his hand waved lightly again, and the leaves in the sky instantly stagnated, as if time was frozen.
"This kid is naughty again."
He shook his head, and as soon as the words fell, the leaves suddenly shot back, and almost instantly, they enveloped the figure hiding behind the medicine tree not far away.
Shout...... Shout......
Every leaf is like lightning, whistling with lightning speed.
"Brother Zhao spares his life!"
Seeing that countless leaves were about to attack, the man was so frightened that he quickly screamed.
Zhao Ping'an smiled slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, the leaves that had originally attacked the sky instantly turned into powder, as if they had never appeared.
"Whew!"
"It almost scared the hell out of me."
A young man, patting his chest with palpitations, walked out of the shadows.
His face is somewhat similar to Wang Cripple, but his face is very immature, and he is Wang Cheng, the nephew of Wang Cripple.
"You kid is good, your cultivation has entered the third layer of qi refining, and you are only one step away from being able to advance to the fourth level of qi refining."
"Compared to Senior Brother Wang, it is really much stronger."
"At your age, he had just broken through to the second level of qi refining."
Looking at Wang Cheng, Zhao Ping'an said with a smile.
With just one glance, he had penetrated the cultivation realm of Wang Cheng.
"Good fellows."
"Brother Zhao, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, you actually saw through my cultivation realm at a glance, are you really only a third-layer realm of qi refining?"
"And what kind of exercise is that method just now, can you teach me?"
Wang Cheng was a little shocked, and at the same time, he said with a pleading tone.
In the past ten years, Wang Cheng has grown from a young boy to a hot-blooded and lively young man.
But a little regrettable, his talent and qualifications are still a little worse, still failed to become an official disciple of the Sword Sect, in the past few years, Wang Cripple was worried about his future, and later spent thousands of spirit stones to go through the back door, reluctantly let Wang Cheng become a registered disciple of a disciple of the foundation building period of the sect.
Although he is not an official disciple of the sect, being able to follow a disciple in the foundation building period is much better in Wang Lame's opinion than staying in the medicine garden.
Every once in a while, Wang Cheng would take time to return to the medicine garden to visit his uncle Wang Cripple and Zhao Ping'an and others.
"It's just an ordinary method, in the future, when you become an official disciple of the sect, you can cultivate to a better practice than this."
Zhao Ping'an smiled and didn't explain much.
He looked the city up and down, and the boy was taller and stronger and stronger than before.
"Become a full disciple? It's so simple there. ”
"Since three years ago, I have become a registered disciple of the master in the foundation building period, and I have been serving tea and water every day, and I have almost become a cow and horse that can be used by others to pull and plough the fields."
"Not only did I learn nothing, but I was tired every day with sore back and legs."
Wang Cheng pursed his lips and said in a helpless tone.
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Ping'an with a hint of hope, and asked: "Brother Zhao, can I ask you for a favor, you persuade my uncle not to keep me under the command of that foundation building period master, it is almost a waste of time." ”
"Over the years, I have broken through to the third layer of qi refining, and almost all of them have relied on my own exploration, and I don't have the slightest credit for the master of the foundation building period."
He couldn't stop complaining.
When Wang Cheng returned to the medicine garden this time, the reason why he didn't go to his uncle Wang Cripple for the first time, but came to Zhao Ping'an, was that he hoped that the latter could help him persuade his uncle.
And Wang Cheng knew very well that Wang Cripple had a stubborn personality, and he would definitely not be able to listen to what he said, but his uncle Wang Cripple was very convinced of what Zhao Ping'an said.
"You're here for me?"
Zhao Ping'an glanced at him angrily, thinking that this kid had not seen him for a long time, and deliberately came to visit him, but it turned out that he had a request for him.
"Brother Zhao, please."
"You're handsome, handsome, and helpful, and you're my greatest idol."
"As long as you open your mouth, Uncle will definitely reconsider."
Wang Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and patted his ass and said.
"That's it, don't be a sycophant."
"I will find an opportunity to mention this matter to Senior Brother Wang, but in the end, I can't guarantee whether it will be as you want."
"You have to know how much effort Senior Brother Wang spent in order to make you a registered disciple of the Foundation Building Period."
Zhao Ping'an sighed lightly and said.
"Brother Zhao, I know that you and your uncle have high expectations for me, but I really don't want to continue to be a registered disciple who serves tea and water."
"That's just a waste of time, you won't learn anything at all, let alone break through to the fifth layer of qi refining as soon as possible and become an official disciple of the sect."
Wang Cheng also said in a helpless tone.
At the beginning, after learning that he had become a registered disciple of the foundation building period, he was also very happy, thinking that he had a better future, but after a few years of encounters, he found that the truth was completely different from what he imagined.
Wang Cheng was really helpless, so he could only go here to find Zhao Ping'an to persuade Wang Cripple.
"You're too hasty."
"Forget it, I can't say anything about you."
Zhao Ping'an shook his head, and had no intention of admonishing Wang Cheng.
Although the other party grew up watching by himself, he will take that road in the future, and it will not be his turn Zhao Ping'an to point fingers.
"I knew Brother Zhao, you were the best."
"By the way, Brother Zhao, why have you not only not aged after so many years, but have become younger."
"Is there any secret method to cultivate?"
"Can you give it to my uncle? He's been so old in the last few years. ”
Wang Cheng smiled and asked jokingly.
Over the years, Zhao Ping'an's appearance has not only not aged, but has become younger, even if he is really thirty-eight years old, but on the outside, he still looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old.
"There's a secret method there, it's just that I accidentally took a Zhuyan Pill before."
Zhao Ping'an explained with a smile.
"I see."
Wang Cheng suddenly realized.
Zhuyan Pill is a special elixir that can maintain the appearance of immortality after taking it, but the decline of the body's function still cannot be changed.
"Hurry up and find Senior Brother Wang."
"He hasn't seen you in a long time."
"And he's not in good health these days, you go back and take good care of him."
Zhao Ping'an reminded Wang Cheng.
"Okay."
Wang Cheng grinned, immediately said goodbye to Zhao Ping'an, and ran away in a hurry.
"This kid's qualifications are still okay."
"But it's just that the character needs to be polished a lot."
After watching Wang Cheng leave, Zhao Ping'an picked up a broom and went straight back to his residence.
Inside the wooden house, the aura is extremely strong, and the spirit gathering formation arranged by Zhao Ping'an at the beginning, over the years, after his several improvements, the aura gathered is several times richer than at that time.
In the past ten years, Zhao Ping'an's cultivation on the surface seems to be the third layer of qi refining at the beginning, and there has been no progress in the slightest.
The miscellaneous disciples in the entire medicine garden all thought that Zhao Ping'an's cultivation talent was extremely mediocre, and he was not even as good as Wang Cripple and the others.
However, Zhao Ping'an's real realm has now reached the middle stage of foundation building, which is even stronger than when he just broke through to the foundation building realm ten years ago.
Moreover, Zhao Ping'an has cultivated the "Immortal Sword Technique" to the fourth layer of consummation, and it is possible to break through to the fifth layer at any time!
